text: Lane Dean, Jr., with his green rubber pinkie finger, sat at his Tingle table in his chalk's row in the rotes group's wiggle room and did two more returns, then another one, then flexed his buttocks and held to a count of ten and imagined a warm pretty beach with mellow surf, as instructed in orientation the previous month. Then he did two more returns, checked the clock real quick, then two more, then bore down and did three in a row, then flexed and visualized and bore way down and did four without looking up once, except to put the completed files and memos in the two Out trays side by side up in the top tier of trays, where the cart boys could get them when they came by. After just an hour the beach was a winter beach, cold and gray and the dead kelp like the hair of the drowned, and it stayed that way despite all attempts. Then three more, including one 1040A, where the deductions for A.G.I. were added wrong and the Martinsburg printout hadn't caught it and had to be amended on one of the Form 020-Cs in the lower left tray, and then a lot of the same information filled out on the regular 20, which you still had to do even if it was just a correspondence audit and the file going to Joliet instead of the District, each code for which had to be looked up on the pullout thing he had to scoot the chair awkwardly over to pull out all the way. Then another one, then a plummeting inside of him as the wall clock showed that what he'd thought was another hour had not been. Not even close. May 17, 1985. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a poor sinner. Cross-checking W-2s for the return's line 8 off the place in the Martinsburg printout where the perforation, if you wanted to separate the thing's sheets, went right through the data and you had to hold it up against the light and almost sometimes guess, which his chalk leader said was a chronic bug with Systems but the wiggler was still accountable. The joke this week was: How was an I.R.S. rote examiner like a mushroom? Both kept in the dark and fed horseshit. He didn't know how mushrooms even worked, if it was true that you scooped waste on them. Sheri's cooking wasn't what you would call at the level of adding mushrooms. Then another return. The rule was, the more you looked at the clock the slower the time went. None of the wigglers wore a watch, except he saw that some kept them in their pockets for breaks. Clocks on Tingles were not allowed, nor coffee or pop. Try as he might, he could not this last week help envisioning the inward lives of the older men to either side of him, doing this day after day. Getting up on a Monday and chewing their toast and putting their hats and coats on knowing what they were going out the door to come back to for eight hours. This was boredom beyond any boredom he'd ever felt. This made the routing desk at UPS look like a day at Six Flags. It was May 17th, early morning, or early midmorning you could maybe almost call it now. He could hear the squeak of the cart boys' carts someplace off at a distance, where the vinyl panels between his chalk's Tingles and the blond Oriental fellow's chalk one row up blocked the sight of them, the kids with the carts. One of the carts had a crazy wheel that chattered when the boy pushed it; Lane Dean always knew when that cart was coming down the rows. He did another return; again the math squared and there were no itemizations on 32 and the printout's numbers for W-2 and 1099 and Forms 2440 and 2441 appeared to square, and he filled out his codes for the middle tray's 402 and signed his name and I.D. number that some part of him still refused to quite get memorized so he had to unclip his badge and check it each time and then stapled the 402 to the return and put the file in the top tier's rightmost tray for 402s Out and refused to let himself count the number in the trays yet, and then unbidden came the thought that "boring" also meant something that drilled in and made a hole. His buttocks already ached from flexing, and the mere thought of envisioning the desolate beach unmanned him. He shut his eyes but, instead of praying for inward strength now, he found he was just looking at the strange reddish dark and the little flashes and floaters in there that got almost hypnotic when you really looked at them. Then, when he opened his eyes, the In tray's stack of files looked to be still mainly the height it had been at 7:14, when he'd logged in in the chalk leader's notebook and there weren't enough files in his Out trays for Form 20s and 402s so that he could see any over the side of the trays, and he refused once more to stand up to check how many of them there were, for he knew that would make it worse. He had the sensation of a great type of hole or emptiness falling through him and continuing to fall and never hitting the floor. Never before in his life up to now had he once thought of suicide. He was doing a return at the same time he fought with his mind, with the sin and affront of even the passing thought. The room was silent, except for the adding machines and the chattering sound of that one kid's cart that had a crazy wheel as the cart boy brought it down a certain row with more files, but also he kept hearing in his head the sound a piece of paper makes when you tear it in half over and over. His six-man chalk was a quarter of a row, separated off by the gray vinyl screens. A team is four chalks, plus the team leader and a cart boy, some of these from P.C.B., Peoria College of Business. The screens could be moved around to reconfigure the room's layout. Similar rotes groups were in the rooms to either side. Far to the left, past three other chalks' rows, was the Group Manager's office, with the A.G.M.'s little cubicle of screens next to it. The little pinkie rubbers were for traction on the forms. You were supposed to save the rubber at the end of the day. The overhead lights cast no shadow, even of your hand if you held it out like you were reaching for a tray. Darren and Dianne Lotwis, of 402 Elk Court, Edina, Minnesota, who itemized and then some, had elected to have $1 go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund, which was box 5 on the 402, and it took several minutes to cross-check everything on Schedule A, but nothing qualified for the specs of a promising audit, even though Mr. Lotwis had the jaggedy handwriting of a crazy man. Lane Dean had filed far less 20s than protocol called for. On Friday, he'd had the least 20s of anyone in the chalk. Nobody'd said anything. All the wastebaskets were full of the curled strips of paper from the adding machines. Everyone's face was the color of wet lead in the fluorescent light. You could make a semiprivate cubicle out of the screens, like the team leader had. Then he looked up, despite all best prior intentions. In four minutes, it would be another hour; a half hour after that was the ten-minute break. Lane Dean imagined himself running around on the break, waving his arms and shouting gibberish and holding ten cigarettes at once in his mouth, like a panpipe. Year after year, a face the same color as your desk. Lord Jesus. Coffee wasn't allowed because of spills on the files, but on the break he'd have a big cup of coffee in each hand while he pictured himself running around the outside grounds, shouting. He knew what he'd really do on the break was sit facing the wall clock in the lounge and, despite prayers and effort, count the seconds tick off until he had to come back and do this again. And again and again and again. The imagined sound made him remember different times he'd seen people rip paper in half. He thought of a circus strongman tearing a phone book; he was bald and had a handlebar mustache and wore a stripy all-body swimsuit like people wore in the distant past. Lane Dean summoned all his will and bore down and did three returns in a row, and began imagining different high places to jump off of. He felt in a position to say he knew now that hell had nothing to do with fires or frozen troops. Lock a fellow in a windowless room to perform rote tasks just tricky enough to make him have to think, but still rote, tasks involving numbers that connect to nothing he'll ever see or care about, a stack of tasks that never goes down, and nail a clock to the wall where he can see it, and just leave the man there to his mind's own devices. Tell him to pucker his butt and think beach when he starts to get antsy—and that would be just the word they'd use, antsy, like his mother. Let him find out in time's fullness what a joke the word was, how it didn't come anyplace close. He'd already dusted the desk with his cuff, moved his infant son's photo in its rattly little frame where the front glass slid a bit if you shook it. He'd already tried switching the green rubber over and doing the adding machine with his left hand, pretending he'd had a stroke and was bravely soldiering on. The rubber made the pinkie's tip all damp and pale beneath it. The beach now had solid cement instead of sand and the water was gray and barely moved, just quivered a little, like Jell-O that's almost set. Unbidden came ways to kill himself with Jell-O. Lane Dean tried to control the rate of his heartbeat. He wondered if, with enough practice and concentration, you could stop your heart at will, the same way you hold your breath—like this right here. His heart rate felt dangerously slow and he became scared and tried to keep his head inclined by rolling his eyes way up and compared the rate to the clock's second hand, but the second hand seemed impossibly slow. The sound of ripping paper again and again. Some cart boys brought you files with everything you needed; some did not. The buzzer to bring a cart boy was just under the iron desk's edge, with a wire trailing down one of the desk's sides and little welded-on leg, but it didn't work. Atkins said the wiggler who'd been at the desk before him, who'd got transferred someplace, had pressed on it so much it burned the circuit. Small strange indentations in rows on the blotter's front edge were, Lane Dean had realized, the prints of teeth that somebody had bent and pressed real carefully into the blotter so that the indentations went way down and stayed there. He felt he could understand. It was hard to keep from smelling his finger; at home, he'd find himself doing it, staring into space at the table. His baby boy's face worked better than the beach; he imagined him doing all sorts of little things that he and his wife could talk about later, like curling his fist around one of their fingers or smiling when Sheri made that amazed face at him. He liked to watch her with the baby; for half a file it helped to have them in mind, because they were why, they were what made this worthwhile and the right thing and he had to remember it, but it kept slipping away down the hole that fell through him. Neither man on either side of him seemed to ever fidget or move, except to reach up and lift things onto the desk from their Tingles' trays, like machines, and they were never in the lounge at break. Atkins claimed that after a year he could examine and cross-check two files at once, but you never saw him try to do it, though he could whistle one song and hum a different one. Lane Dean watched out of the corner of his eye as a parrot-faced man by the central aisle dividing teams pulled a file out of his tray and removed the return and detached the printout and centered both documents on his blotter. With his little homemade seat cushion and gray hat on its hook screwed into the 402s tray. Lane Dean stared down without seeing his own open file and imagined being that guy with his sad little cushion and customized banker's lamp and wondered what he possibly had or did in his spare time to make up for these soul-murdering eight daily hours that weren't even a quarter through until he just couldn't stand it and did three returns in a row in a kind of frenzy where he might have missed things and so, on the next file, went very slowly and painstakingly and found a discrepancy between the 1040's Schedule E and the R.R.A. annuity tables for poor old Clive R. Terry of Alton's pissant railroad pension, but a discrepancy so small that you couldn't tell if the Martinsburg printout had even made an error or had just accepted a wide roundoff for time's sake, given the amount at stake, and he had to fill out both an 020-C and a Memo 402-C(1), kicking the return over to the Group Manager's office to decide how to classify the error. Both had to be filled out with duplicated data on both sides, and signed. The whole issue was almost unbelievably meaningless and small. He thought about the word "meaning" and tried to summon up his baby's face without looking at the photo, but all he could get was the heft of a full diaper and the plastic mobile over his crib turning in the breeze that the box fan in the doorway made. He imagined that the clock's second hand possessed awareness and knew that it was a second hand and that its job was to go around and around inside a circle of numbers forever at the same slow, unvarying machinelike rate, going no place it hadn't already been a million times before, and imagining the second hand was so awful it made his breath catch in his throat, and he looked quickly around to see if any of the examiners near him had heard it or were looking at him. When he started to see the baby's photo face melting and lengthening and growing a long cleft jaw and aging years in just seconds and finally caving in from old age and falling away from the grinning yellow skull underneath, he knew he was half asleep and dreaming but did not know his own face was in his hands until he heard a human voice and opened his eyes but couldn't see who it went with and then smelled the pinkie's rubber right under his nose. He might have drooled on the open file.

Sometimes the reason for a guy's silence is obvious: He's engrossed in work; he's concentrating on a video game; he's crammed so much hot dog into his mouth that he's incapable of making a sound. But there are also times when his tight-lipped state is a total mystery...and that's when it can have a negative effect on your relationship. "A woman will often take a man's silence to be a bad thing because she assumes it means that he doesn't want to communicate with her or he just doesn't care," says William July, PhD, author of Understanding the Tin Man. "But that's almost never the case." Your guy does carehe just can't always get the words out.
It doesn't help that when he sees that his silence is hurting you or pissing you off, he feels even more pressure to say the right thing...and becomes even less likely to talk. Luckily, you can break the cycle by understanding why he shuts up in the first place.
He Thinks You Can't Handle the Truth
You're probably sick of asking him what he's thinking and being told "nothing." Well, you may want to stop and consider how you'd react if he actually told you what was going through his head. "Often, a man will think that talking could result in his losing more points than he'd gain," says Warren Farrell, PhD, author of Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say. "So he keeps things to himself, which makes it impossible for him to participate fully in the relationship."
Let's say you describe a fight you're having with a coworker, and your guy doesn't respond. You think he's zoning out, but it may be that he has weighed the situation in his highly logical mind and is siding with your coworker, not you. Based on past experiences, he knows that admitting as much will only get him in trouble (because, let's face it, you're looking for emotional backup, not rational input)...so he just stares at you like a deer in headlights.
Related Video
The only way to get him to stop censoring himself is to let him know that you'll take his opinion in stride, even if it's not what you want to hear. "If he has reassurance that you'll listen and respond more positively than in the past," Farrell says, "he'll feel safe enough to talk."

56% of the CEO
Roland Smith
I have been working at OfficeMax full-time for less than a year
Pros – Few requirements for hire. Opportunity to learn management skills in a retail environment with business minded customers.
Cons – Unrealistic expectations. Metrics that are counter intuitive, and inconsistent with industry trends.
Advice to Senior Management – Staff are human beings, not cattle.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at OfficeMax part-time for more than a year
Pros – Management was always very interested in the wishes, skills and desires of its employees. It was a very clean workplace, and goals were normally clearly detailed.
Cons – Occasionally seemed a bit affected, as if they were trying too hard to care. Additionally, whenever there were problems in the store (i.e. customers staying in too late, customers demanding free products, etc.), there seemed to be a lack of any clear solution offered by management.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't try so hard to be "cool" with the employees. Let it flow.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at OfficeMax part-time for more than 10 years
Pros – The management is eminently flexible when it comes to scheduling and working around your life. If you're in school, they will bend over backwards to accommodate your classes.
Middle management and the company structure is also supremely ethical and safety-obsessed. Playing politics is at a minimum; if your job is in danger, it's because you're not doing the job right. It has nothing to do with who likes you or whether you said something to a manager at the wrong moment. The environment is fairly laid back as long as stuff gets done.
Management has, of late, been making lots of improvements to the company's infrastructure. They're doing lots of tinkering in every department, which has resulted in fixes to a lot of old problems. Whether this continues as OfficeDepot begins to merge is anybody's guess.
Cons – The pay and benefits are the absolute minimum they can get away with. I know some fast food joints whose pay is better. There is almost no upward mobility unless you're good at selling computer replacement plans.
The company professes to value innovation. This is false, at least at the lower levels. Not all rules are enforced all the time, but most are enforced to the letter, and any suggestions for innovations or flexibility are met with indifference at best. The management is not completely tone-deaf, and there has been some change from the top down, although many of the changes that profess to improve employee life aren't that meaningful.
You are expected to play your part without unapproved deviation for minimal pay, but at least they provide donuts and orange juice at the store meetings.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at OfficeMax full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Vacation/sick time can be joined
Cons – Could care less about customer service
Advice to Senior Management – At the store I worked at in Georgia there was no customer service training.
If a customer asked were is a notebook they were told row six on the left.
Never walking them there! Even managers did this!
Customers might as well go to Walmart !
This would drive me nuts.
Giving the customer. The total answer was never part of training or practice !
How can you have add on sales with out this.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at OfficeMax full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Flexible hours, decent pay, a corporate office that tries to be there for associates.
Cons – retail, bonuses seem to be paid out slowly, they sometimes don't tell you things till last minute.
Advice to Senior Management – better communication at corporate level to make sure things are rolled out properly. More advertisement for ctrl center services. Change goals to a store by store basis.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
3 people found this helpful
I worked at OfficeMax part-time for more than a year
Pros – There is a 20 word minimum? Let's see... None, none, none. Nope, still can't think of anything good.
Cons – Terrible hours, mediocre pay, horrible management on store and corporate levels, constantly driving numbers in your face, impatient customers, and an uncanny ability to teach their sales associates and consultants to annoy everyone that walks through the door.
Advice to Senior Management – Incentives go a long way for part-timers, and full-timers if you want to keep someone working for the company. Start with something better than a 10 cent raise every year.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at OfficeMax part-time for less than a year
Pros – If you get along with management and your fellow co-workers (which I fortunately did) it's not a bad place to work. Fairly flexible scheduling, the opportunity to play with the latest tech toys, and (especially handy if you're in school) a decent employee discount.
Cons – You're expected to push products and warranties that you know are useless. They also have a habit of running vaguely worded promotions which can lead irate and confused customers that believe you're trying to rip them off.
Advice to Senior Management – Improve the copy on the promotions so there's no way the general public can misunderstand them. Also the employee incentive program could use tweaking-warranties are not an easy sell in their current package.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at OfficeMax full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – The benefits are very good. Between 401k, medical and a generous vacation allotment the company take care of you.
Cons – Constant change. In search of better processes the company is constantly changing how we do things and unfortunately most time is for the worst.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop micro-managing. Empower your people to make decisions. Listen to what the people in the field are actually saying.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Hi. I'm Chris.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in October 2002. You can read more about that here. This blog started in 2009 as a way to share, and mostly vent my frustrations with, my life with diabetes. Over the years it has expanded into a daily chronicling of whatever is going on in my life. For the most part that has been my life with diabetes – there's a post tag for that. But there's more to me than my diabetes, like life with my lovely fianceé and these two cats, so for everything else, there's a post category for that.
Over the years my creative efforts have expanded in a variety of directions. Most notably, I host and produce a weekly podcast called "Just Talking" that features the stories and experiences of a different guest each week. The goal is a casual yet informative conversation that anyone can approach. The podcast lives at justtalkingpodcast.com, but I share those episodes here every Wednesday in case you don't want another blog to follow.
There will also be posts and tidbits from my other social media outlets. You can find them all here, if you're really that curious. I do what I can to keep those audiences segmented unless there's something major that merits cross-posting.
I'm still trying to find and define my voice as a patient advocate, both through this blog and in person at conferences like Stanford's Medicine X. I'm not an authority on any one particular matter, but when I have strong feelings about a particular topic or advocacy effort, you'll certainly know it.
At the end of the day, I believe in storytelling. I believe that the stories we, the diabetes community, share strengthen our community and improve our capacity for greatness by an exponential margin. I believe that every story is worth telling, no matter how ordinary it appears to be on the surface. I believe all of "this" is best served to help remind others that they aren't alone with their diabetes, their cancer, their rheumatoid arthritis, or whatever else you may be dealing with. I believe that every patient community has something to teach, and something to learn.
Right now I have a lot to learn, and if I'm lucky a few things I can help teach in the process.
Welcome to my madness.
This is a personal blog. The views expressed here are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer.
If you have any questions regarding details or treatment of Diabetes or any other medical condition, talk to a professional.
And if you came here looking for actual consequences or symptoms of hypoglycemia, 1. I apologize for capitalizing on a little Search Engine Optimization and B. I'll refer you to the American Diabetes Association on that one.

The Environmental Services Section of the Water Utilities Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for administering the City of Tempe's Backflow Prevention Program, which is a containment program. An example of containment and internal protection is provided below:
1. The City of Tempe water meter. The user paying the water bill will receive the test notification letter. The test notice will provide the meter number and service address as listed in the City of Tempe billing system. In order to enter a test into CDS, the correct meter number is required.
2. The RP serves as containment by preventing backsiphonage / backflow of water into the public water supply.
3. The PVB serves as isolation by preventing backsiphonage of water into the user's water system.
4. Fire lines should be protected by use of a double check assembly located either outside or inside the Fire Riser room. The first check valve closes as a result of backsiphonage and the second check valve closes as a result of backpressure.
The purpose of the Backflow program, is to protect the public water supply from contamination or pollution by isolating within the user's system such contaminants or pollutants which could backflow into the public water supply, and to provide for the monitoring and enforcement of the program. This is accomplished by inspecting service connections to determine compliance with Tempe City Code related to backflow, tracking the annual testing of privately-owned backflow prevention assemblies ("assemblies") to ensure proper operation, and investigating water quality complaints and backflow incidents.
Responsibility of the User
Pursuant to Tempe City Code Chapter 33, Section 107(a), the user is responsible for maintaining accurate records of tests and repairs made to the assembly. Section 107(b) requires the user, at their own expense, to have a certified backflow prevention assembly tester that is registered with the City, test the assembly at the initial installation and then annually on the anniversary date of the initial test. It is recommended the user maintain these records of testing and repairs for a minimum of three (3) years. Section 107(c) of the Code specifies the user is required to notify the City 15 days in advance when the yearly test(s) are to be conducted so an Inspector may witness the test, if so desired. Typically the City waives this requirement. In those instances where there may be cause for the City to witness the test, the City will notify the user well in advance.
Test Notification Letter
Assembly test notification letters will be issued to the user paying for the water service. Up to three notices will be issued. The first notice will be issued 90 days prior to the annual test due date. If required, a second notice will be issued 30 days prior to the due date and a Final Notice will be issued if the test was not completed and posted by the assembly due date.
Data Management & Tester Registration
The City has updated the data structure used to track assembly test dates, tester certification, and test kit calibration. The web based "Compliance Data System ("CDS") tracks the certification of each registered tester as well as their test kit(s). Certified backflow assembly testers, conducting testing within the City of Tempe, must be registered in CDS. The tester's name, company name, and contact information will be used to provide users with a listing of registered testers, which replaces the former "Recognized Tester List."
In order to create an account in CDS, the tester must possess a current backflow prevention assembly tester certificate and test kit calibration report. The dates of issuance and expiration of each certificate and the PDF of the two certificates are stored in the CDS. It is the tester's responsibility to maintain their tester certification and yearly test kit calibration report. Testers are no longer required to submit hard copies of the certificates. In lieu of submitting hard copies, each registered tester will have the ability to update expiration dates and test kit calibration reports.
Tester Responsibility
The CDS Backflow Module was designed to allow the registered tester to input the results of the annual backflow assembly test. The notice issued to the user paying the water bill will include the service address and the meter identification number. This data comes directly from the Utility Billing System. All test results are to be inputted into CDS by the tester. The City does not charge the user or the individual conducting the test. When completing the test, the tester should provide the user with a hard copy of the report. The report must contain the correct service address, meter ID number as listed on the test notice, make, model, and serial number of the assembly. The tester is no longer required to use a City of Tempe form. The CDS developer is designing an IOS and Droid app for use on smart phones and tablets that will allow the tester to input the results while conducting the test. A reporting feature will allow the tester to email a portable document format ("PDF") of the test report to the assembly owner. The developer may charge a nominal fee to for the app. When the apps are completed and ready for distribution, an email will be issued to all registered testers. It is extremely important that the tester keep his/her registration and email contact information up to date in order to receive notifications from the City.
When the CDS data entry portion of the Backflow Module is made available, each tester will receive by email written procedures for entering results. Again, it is imperative for the tester to keep their email address up to date.
Stolen Backflow Assembly
If your backflow assembly is stolen, please report this theft to the City of Tempe Police Department. Use the non-emergency number of (480) 350-8311 to file the report. By providing the responding officer with the make, model, size, and serial number of the stolen assembly, valuable time is saved for the Police Department and the Water Utilities Division. The City aggressively investigates thefts of assemblies and arrests have been made.
The user must replace the stolen assembly in a timely manner and the assembly must be replaced with the same type of assembly. Security of the assembly should be increased by use of a cage, locking mechanism, and/or converting to a style of assembly which contains less brass. To be in compliance with Tempe City Code Chapter 33, Section 107(e), a plumbing permit is required if the assembly is replaced and/or relocated. If the assembly is relocated, it may no longer be serving as containment. Please contact the Environmental Services Section at (480) 350-2678 if you need assistance.

Students in their second and third years may apply to do a part-time externship with a judge, a government agency, a non-profit organization or with in-house corporate counsel. A student may take more than one part-time externship, but may receive a cumulative total of no more than eight units of P/U/NC credit for satisfactory completion of all part-time externships. A student may take only one part-time externship during a semester. A student may not receive any monetary or other compensation for services performed during a part-time externship. No externships at private law firms are permitted. A student who takes a part-time externship will NOT be eligible for a full-time externship. A student who has taken a full-time externship is NOT eligible for a part-time externship.
Part-time externships are intended to allow students to expand upon substantive or clinical course work that the student is contemporaneously undertaking, or which the student has previously completed, at UCLA Law School and to take advantage of unique opportunities for professional development. Part-time externships are not intended to allow students to perform legal work similar to that which students routinely perform in part-time employment while in law school.
An application for a part-time externship may be approved if it demonstrates a reasonable probability that the externship will provide a meaningful educational experience for the student and that educational experience could not reasonably be achieved, or have been achieved, by the student through enrollment in a law school course or clinic.

Just Pretend
Although this married couple enjoyed their new fishing boat together, it was the husband who was behind the wheel operating the boat. Still, he was concerned about what might happen in an emergency.
So one day out on the lake he said to his wife, "Honey, take the wheel... Pretend that I am having a heart attack. You must get the boat safely to shore and dock it." So she drove the boat to shore and safely docked it.
Later that evening, the wife walked into the livingroom where her husband was reading a novel. She sat down next to him, switched the TV channel, and said to him, "Honey, go into the kitchen. Pretend I'm having a heart attack and set the table, cook dinner and wash the dishes."

Positive Experience
Easy Interview
I applied through other source and the process took 3 days - interviewed at StoneMor in November 2012.
Interview Details I called on an ad in the paper and the manager returned my call within a few hours. I had an interview the next day. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel this was a calling, not just a job. I started within a short time and it was an easy process.
Interview Question – What is the most important thing in a job like this? View Answer
Negotiation Details – There is really no chance to negotiate. It's take it or leave it.
Accepted Offer
Negative Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied through other source and the process took 1 week - interviewed at StoneMor.
Interview Details My interview consisted of being taken around the property by the sales manager and being told that I would make $70,000 a year part time. She said that counselors were fed leads. Easy to make sales.
Interview Question – NO questions at all. Didn't ask me anything- just told me about her marvelous success Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. $8.00 an hour- which I was shocked and appalled at. But I was assured mega commissions so I thought I would give it a try.
Accepted Offer
Negative Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied in-person and the process took 1 week - interviewed at StoneMor in August 2010.
Interview Details The person I interviewed with was exactly the type of person one does not want around families either pre-need or at-need - unfortunately I did not know that at the time. The interview was after office hours. He was a bit sleazy and incredibly unprofessional: cursing, saying negative things about other employees, asking inappropriate interview questions such as "You're hot, are you single?". The entire process that day lasted almost two hours. He turned me off to the job initially, but I opted to continue with the hiring process because of my interest in the death care industry, wanting to help people, and needing employment. After I accepted the offer, I had to wait for the results from a background check, which took about a week.
Interview Question – "You're hot, are you single?" View Answer
Negotiation Details – There was nothing to negotiate. Pay is minimum wage OR commission - whichever is higher. My advice: if you want to work in the death care industry, either at a cemetery or funeral home, find one that IS NOT corporately owned. Your experience will be much more rewarding.
Would you like us to review something? Please describe the problem with this {0} and we will look into it.

Serves 8
This dish is nothing like the marshmallow-topped Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole of old. Sautéed apples, a crunchy pecan crust, and spicy mashed sweet potatoes make for a sophisticated update.
For more side dish recipes visit The Guide to Thanksgiving Dinner.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and bake them on the sheet until completely tender when pierced with a fork, 55 to 60 minutes. Let rest until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, if not working ahead, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F.
Discard the skins and put the flesh in a medium mixing bowl. With a potato masher, work the sweet potatoes until they're well mashed (they don't have to be perfectly smooth).
Melt 2 Tbs. of the butter and combine with the pecans, breadcrumbs, parsley, and two big pinches of salt in a small bowl.
Combine the heavy cream, ginger, star anise, and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan. Bring to a full boil (watch carefully so that it doesn't boil over) and remove from the heat immediately. Let steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a liquid measuring cup, pressing down on the solids with a spatula to extract all of the liquid. Stir in 2 Tbs. of the bourbon, the vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp. salt.
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 2 Tbs. butter over medium-high heat. Add the apples, season with 1/4 tsp. salt, and toss well. Raise the heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly browned, 8 to 9 minutes. Lower the heat if the apples are getting too dark, but not so much that they soften without browning.
Turn off the heat, carefully add the remaining 2 tsp. bourbon and stir until it evaporates, a few seconds. Pour in 1/3 cup of the infused cream and stir until the apples have absorbed most of it, a few more seconds. Set the pan aside and let the apples cool for about 15 minutes, turning them occasionally to release steam.
Butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish (9x13-inch works well). Add the remaining cream to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt. Arrange the apples across the bottom of the baking dish. Spread the sweet potato mixture over the apples in an even layer. Top with the pecan-crumb mixture.
Bake the casserole at 375°F until the crumb topping is dark brown (it will be browner around the edges) and the casserole is heated through, about 25 minutes.
You can bake and mash the sweet potatoes and make the crumb topping a day ahead (cover both and refrigerate). Bring the potatoes and crumb topping to room temperature before assembling the dish. You can also assemble and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before baking. Return to room temperature before baking.

11/29/2013I've been looking at this recipe for 2 years and was afraid to make (too rich). Made it for thanksgiving yesterday and it was delicious! I baked the sweet potatoes the day before to make it easier. The flavors were a great combination & loved the crunch of the pecans (but did only use 1/2 cup). Dinner guests were impressed, as was my husband!
by carolb,
11/28/2013Awesome blending of flavors but not for fussy eaters. The Star Anise is distinctive and the bourbon is just the right amount. The apples are terrific as is the crust. Save it for people who can appreciate it. I loved it!
by lacemaker,
11/25/2012I've made this several years in a row for Thanksgiving and it always gets rave reviews. This year I used apple jack as we didn't have any bourbon. I think the reviewer that thought it was too "boozie" tasting probably didn't have it cooked down well enough.
by mojo_g,
5/1/2012This has become a staple at the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table. One of my guest joked that he couldn't decide if it was a side dish or dessert! Simply decadent!
by butta211,
11/7/2010Its funny, I thought I didn't like it as it was very boozy tasting, however, I did go back for seconds. My husband, however, loved it and wouldn't change a thing. Like another reviewer I might do the calvados as well. And I may have burned my pecans while toasting as the crust was a little bitter. I'm thinking I'll go for it and add to the Thanksgiving menu.
by duckyfufu,
12/16/2009There was something about the flavors together that I just did not like. My husband loved it, though.
by cjgl10,
12/10/2009Just read but haven't tried this recipe yet, but it will be on our Christmas plates. If ingredients are all included as per directions, I'm sure results will be anything but bland ..... holiday menu experiments are all part of the fun!
by tekmom,
11/28/2009Enjoyed by all! Not too sweet like some other sweet potato casseroles I have tried. Complemented our other dishes well (Pomegranate-balsamic-glazed carrots, green beans, and cranberry sauce).
by shaker55,
11/27/2009Beautiful dish, but the taste was odd - this one got thumbs down from everyone at our Thanksgiving table. If I were to make it again - which is highly unlikely - I'd omit the star anise. It's a great ingredient in other dishes, but the flavor combination with sweet potatoes was not good. Next year - plain baked sweet potatoes for all.
by nikki_zav,
11/27/2009This recipe was absolutely worth every second I spent in the kitchen preparing. My family loved the combination of flavors. This is a big step away from your traditional sweet potato pie. One thing I added to help enrich the flavor a little more was substitute a cinnamon pear balsamic I found at a specialty olive oil shop for the bourbon in the recipe. (Since it was Thanksgiving though, I went ahead and added a splash of bourbon along with it). Happy cooking!
by thebusychef,
11/13/2009Very good, worth the work. I like the contrast between the tartness of the apples and sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
I love the flavor of the star anise.
by Lilia37,
11/10/2009I've made this twice so far and will be making it again many times. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars I would. Slightly finicky to make, but worth it. Like one of the other reviewers suggested, I added a bit of maple syrup to my apples (1-2TB). I didn't have any Bourbon so I subbed Calvados. And since I'm fond of sweet things, I added a very light sprinkling of brown sugar on top of the apple and sweet potato layers. The second time I made it, I didn't have pecans so skipped that part, but I like it better with the pecan mixture. I bet using sugared pecans (I'm thinking of the ones that Trader Joe's sells, even though we don't have that here in Canada) would be a yummy substitute for the regular pecans called for.
by wlundycan,
11/4/2009Thank you for having this and other recipes in my hands in time for Canadian Thanksgiving. This was the hit of our vegetable dishes!
by Shrae,
11/3/2009While this is time consuming to prepare, the end result is worth it. It made a fantastic addition to our Thanksgiving dinner.
by StudioCookie,
10/30/2009Made with rye instead of bourbon and courtland apples instead of Grannies. I took it to a friend's cottage in the fall. It was a big hit with a pork loin roast and everyone couldn't get enough of it! I'd definitely do it again.
by jjlipsey,
10/10/2009The fact that this can be prepared ahead makes it doable for a Holiday. I tweaked it slightly by adding 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of crab apple jelly to the apple mixture. I also substituted fatfree half and half for the heavy cream. The end result is delicious and colorful. Worth the time and adventure.
by judykh,
10/7/2009After two hours of prep work and having to purchase random spices, we were very disappointed with the outcome. Overall, the casserole has very little flavor, it tastes tart and bland. I would not recommend this, and definately would not prepare for Thanksgiving.

i dont know about them, and i know of no major cerwin vega fans on this forum per say. i could be wrong. wait a while and see if anyone chimes in.
if you get no info, you might want to give the guys over at Audiokarma.org a shout. I know there are some cerwin vega fans there.

Ludicrous gibs!
A friend of mine had a set of those. 80's vintage. I don't know the specs, but very sloppy bass and lots of it, and harsh highs.
In my opinion, great for parties, not for serious listening. No offense intended.

As loud, obnoxious, and unrefined sounding as a speaker could possibly be.
Some of the WORST sounding, big name speakers out there.
Have your children build you a pair of speakers at Playskool. It'd be cheaper and the sonic results about the same as C-V.
More questions?

The cabinets would make for nice kindling during the winter months, and the magnets could be used as paperweights or doorstops. I guess the cones could be used to make some drumheads for the kids.

I have a pair of at-15's, Have had them a long long time. As far as rock out speakers go, there really is no equal in the price range. They are indeed lacking in the high end, but that's not really what they were designed to do. They were designed to play loud and hard, and they do it well.
A used pair of at-12's will fetch about 125 on craigslist, at-15's around 200.

You could put your withering Christmas tree out on the front lawn for curbside trash pickup, or you can recycle it.
Since 1993, the Merry Mulch Christmas tree recycling program has been keeping trees out of the landfill and turning them into mulch.
Residents interested in participating can bring their Christmas tree to one of several locations throughout the county from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 2.
But if you don't feel like packing up the tree in the car (which is understandable because those needles can get everywhere) residents will be able to set their trees out for yard trim collection on their regular curbside recycling days up until Jan. 18. If doing so, the county asks you remove all decorations, make sure the tree is cut into bundles weighing less than 40 pounds.
Merry Mulch Locations:
- Elkridge - Rockburn Park, 5400 Landing Road
- Clarksville - Kendall Hardware, 12260 Route 108 or River Hill Garden Center, 12165 Route 108

Selected Poems And Four Plays
Scholars, students, and all who delight in Yeats's varied music and sheer quality will rejoice in this expanded edition. As the introduction observes, "Early and late he has the simple, indispensable gift of enchanting the ear....He was also the poet who, while very much of his own day in Ireland, spoke best to the people of all countries. And though he plunged deep into arcane studies, his themes are most clearly the general ones of life and death, love and hate, man's condition, and history's meanings. He began as a sometimes effete post-Romantic, heir to the pre-Raphaelites, and then, quite naturally, became a leading British Symbolist; but he grew at last into the boldest, most vigorous voice of this century." Selected Poems and Four Plays represents the essential achievement of the greatest twentieth-century poet to write in English.
